Pros:

Posizione comodissima, la stanza era pulita, letto comodo, colazione buona, panorama stupendo

Cons:

Unica pecca: il posacenere sul terrazzo era pieno.
Può capitare, non è grave, ma non è sicuramente bello da vedere, nè igienico.

The staff was all very nice, the breakfast abundant, and the location perfect.
Pros:

Because I was visiting in low season, I imagine the prices were slightly lower than what they soon will be in high season. I had a wonderful single room with a terrace (where I had an aperitivo). The rooftop terrace wasn't yet open (there is a bar up there), but I was still able to go up and enjoy a magnificent view of the city! The staff was all very nice, the breakfast abundant, and the location - you can't get much more central than that! Ideal for me as I had to work the next day, so I left my luggage at the hotel and picked it up as I was heading to the train station.

Cons:

I would have liked a more powerful hairdryer!
